   1  gtd-php 
   2  Version 0.6 (2006-06-11)
   3  A web-based implementation of the Getting Things Done system for personal
   4  organization.
   5  
   6  Requirements:
   7      mysql 4.1.x (5.0 will break things)
   8      php
   9      apache with php enabled
  10  
  11  This version does not support installations using table prefixes in the
  12  database. We plan on adding that support in the next release.
  13  
  14  UPGRADING
  15  
  16  1. You should backup your gtd database with:
  17      mysqldump gtd > gtdbackup.sql
  18      (use this in case you need to restore)
  19  
  20  2. Extract the tarball into the same directory you originally 
  21     installed gtd-php in. 
  22  
  23  3. Then proceed to step 8 under NEW INSTALLATION. This will add new tables as
  24      well as add new columns to your existing tables. Your original data will
  25      be upgraded to use the new functionality in version 0.5. You do not need
  26      to recreate your original database (i.e., step 1 is simply a precaution).

  29  NEW INSTALLATION
  30  Installation (Mac OS X-specific. For an other OS, adjust accordingly):
  31  
  32  1. Set up mysql and php
  33  
  34  2. cd ~/Sites
  35  
  36  3. tar -xzvf pathtotarball
  37  
  38  4. cd ~/Sites/gtd-php
  39  
  40  5. cp config.sample.php config.php
  41  
  42  6. Edit config.php and change $pass and $user to values for local machine.
  43  
  44  7. In mysql create a database called gtd:
  45      create database gtd;
  46  
  47      Note that you should also set proper mysql permissions for the mysql user.
  48      This user should NOT have access to other databases, nor grant privileges;
  49      this should NOT be the root user.
  50  
  51  8. Make sure the name of the database and user that you created in step 7,
  52     match those in your config file from step 6.
  53  
  54  9. Point your browser to http://localhost/~username/gtd-php/install.php
  55  
  56      If you encounter a mysql error "Error connecting to database"
  57      then connect to mysql from a shell and issue:
  58          set password for 'user'@'localhost' = old_password('password');
  59  
  60      being sure to change user to the user in config.php and password to
  61      the value of pass in config.php
